'''Crab''' is a giant crustacean [[Demon Beast]] appearing in the episode [[The Meal Moocher]] that [[King Dedede]] orders to fill his demanding appetite. He had a hankering for crab ever since he wasn't able to fully enjoy [[Chief Bookem|Bookem's]] and [[Buttercup|Buttercup's]] delicious crab meal ([[Escargoon]] ruined it by dousing it with extensive amounts of pepper).

[[Tiff]] and [[Tuff]] rush off to help when they see that he's in trouble. Crab takes Dedede by the neck and chops off the base of his robe, making him frantic. Tiff throws a frying pan at Kirby, who catches it, to help Dedede. Kirby swallows the pan and becomes [[Cook|Cook Kirby]]. He then frees Dedede and destroys Crab by boiling him in a large frying pan.

General Information

King Dedede had a desire for crab ever since he wasn't able to fully enjoy Chief Bookem's and Buttercup's delicious crab meal (Escargoon sabotaged it with extensive amounts of pepper). As a result, Dedede turns to Nightmare Enterprises. He orders a king-sized crab, expecting a meal, but instead gets a temperamental monster. Kirby, who is extremely hungry gets mixed in to the whole incident when Crab attacks. Crab chases Kirby, Dedede, and Escargoon all around the castle, and when Tiff and Tuff see that Kirby is in trouble,  they rush off to help. Crab holds Dedede by the robe and chops off the bottom, making Dedede frantic. To help Dedede, Tiff throws a frying pan at Kirby, who swallows the pan and becomes Cook Kirby. He then frees Dedede and tosses the pan onto the NME teleporter. Crab squishes Kirby, but Kirby lifts the crustacean and hurls him towards the pan. Crab falls onto the pan, where a rush of hot water boils the monster, turning his shell a bright red.
